Our suburban parish on the border between the London Borough of Croydon and the lovely Surrey countryside and with a spacious modern Rectory, is seeking a Priest-in-Charge (Rector Designate) to lead our church as we seek to fulfil our mission to proclaim Jesus, change lives and serve our community.
We are looking for a leader who, with energy and dynamism, who will develop the vision for the church to enable the children and families work to be a priority in order to grow the church both in numbers and spiritual maturity. In addition, the new person will care and tend for the existing ageing congregation many of whom have faithfully served the church for many years.
The person we are looking for should have :
- strong communication skills,
- the ability to engage and encourage people across the age ranges and to convey the church’s mission, vision and priorities;
- a commitment to preach the Word of God in thoughtful and stimulating ways;
- an energy and dynamism probably more extrovert than introvert;
- a pastoral heart, showing empathy and good listening skills,
- the ability, willingness and experience to help us to develop and enjoy a variety of worship styles, including a wider range of musical worship and a deeper corporate prayer life -whilst recognising and valuing our heritage;
